I wonder when they contacted him initially. For him to already be in taking training today and to be overwhelming bookies favourite before they'd even rubbed Slade's name in felt tip off the manager's door suggests it's been a while.
The Sky Blues welcome the return of Mark Robins as first-team manager with immediate effect...
The Club are pleased to announce that former boss Mark Robins will resume duties as Coventry City Manager.
Robins joins the Sky Blues on a contract which will extend beyond the current season and will be in the dugout against Bradford City for his first fixture in charge.
The appointment marks a return to the West Midlands for the 47-year old, who has spent time at Huddersfield Town and Scunthorpe United before re-joining the Sky Blues.
Mark Robins said: “I’m delighted to be given the opportunity to return to Coventry City FC and really excited by the challenge ahead.
“I know the club well and it has been especially difficult to watch the struggles of this season from afar.
“My aim is to provide a change of fortune for this football club in the long-term, and build a team not only for now, but for the future of Coventry City."
Perhaps as Robins is the only manager in modern times who has left us by walking out into a better job, he wanted to put the record straight by returning to make sure this time round he's sacked like the rest of them.
What the fuck is going on ? Last I can remember is eating a few space cakes on Saturday night and now we have mark robins on Monday ? Either I have gone back in time or wtf mark robins ?
